Victory Echo^t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: M A Barnes| OR: 97| D

25/1

Hurdles/dual chase scorer who finished well held returning from 4 months off over fences in a C&D handicap 10 days ago, headed 4 out and finding nothing. Hard to warm to on the back of that.

Form: PP35P5

Storm Tiger¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 93

7/4

Winless following 7 attempts over hurdles but he caught the eye on return at Wetherby in January and similar story when second on chase debut at Ayr (20.5f) 2 weeks ago having been well backed. One to be interested in.

Form: 9459-52

Quiet Flow^p,t⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: S England| OR: 85| BF

9/4

Still a maiden following 12 attempts but he comes here in decent heart, again finding only one too good over 21f at Sedgefield 6 days ago. In the mix again.

Form: 23P322

Thunder In Milan^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 83

11/2

Fair maiden hurdler who has yet to match that form in handful of starts over fences, albeit not disgraced when fourth in a C&D handicap 24 days ago having not been ideally placed. Not dismissed.

Form: 40-P274

Detective¹²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 72

4/1

Steadily developed into a fairly useful performer on the level (up to 1¾m). No real promise over hurdles, including when well held in a Wetherby novice (2m) in October, but does now get a crack at handicaps over the larger obstacles. Market should guide back from a break.

Form: PP/9

Divas Doyen^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: P W Wadge⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 70

40/1

Little promise over hurdles in Ireland and similar story for present yard, including over fences. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: PP-P855

Forecasts

Storm Tiger (7/4), Quiet Flow (9/4), Detective (4/1), Thunder In Milan (11/2), Victory Echo (25/1), Divas Doyen (40/1)

STORM TIGER has returned in good heart this winter, shaping well having been set plenty to do when runner-up on debut over fences at Ayr 2 weeks ago. Open to improvement in this sphere, he gets the nod to build on that and come out on top. Quiet Flow, who has filled the runner-up spot on his last 2 starts, rates the chief threat, ahead of Thunder in Milan.
